Concrete resurfacing of floors in Retail, Commercial and Residential situations - Auckland and beyond - Creating unique floor finishes.

Cretecova is a trowel finished flooring. A special blend of Cement, Polymer and fine aggregate fuse together to make an extremely hard surface. The product is manufactured and imported in various colours which can be blended together to create an unlimited range of colours and tones. The Product is coloured right through and is not effected by UV rays. Please note we import our products because they are the best, this means you can trust them to last.

The whole Cretecova process takes 2 days in most instances (up to about 200SqM). Day 1 - Floor is prepared ready for application, an initial skim coat of Cretecova is applied, this creates a high strength chemical and mechanical bond to the whole surface of the substrate. When dried sufficiently a finish layer is applied with the desired effect.

Effects can be :-

• Slate - a layered effect similar to natural slate. Customers can choose colouring of this. Heavier texture can be applied to external applications.
• Marble - This is a very popular effect and can be in any colour choice.
• Stone - Natural colours and tones make these floors warm and inviting.
• Terracotta Tiles - Or any tile for that matter. We can reasonably reproduce almost any tile you would bring us.

The following day we can scribe a tile pattern into the surface, usually greater than 600mm tiles, square or rectangular. The "grout lines" (no actual grout or associated problems) can be 1, 4, 6 or 10mm wide. After this we colour wash the floor to provide a multi-toned effect, this colour also becomes the "grout" colour. (There is no grout to go mouldy and fall out). After this 2 coats of sealer are applied and the following day the area ready for use.

Features of Cretecova

• There is no grout to go mouldy.
• The texture and colour are natural and continuous across the floor. They don't just finish at the edge of each tile. Each "tile" is unique, being hand crafted in place.
• The process only adds 2-3mm to the surface, thereby not interfering with door clearances etc. Carpet can also overlap the edge without any noticeable variation.
• The surface is sealed for lasting results and easy cleaning. Advise on choice of sealer (Matt, Semi-gloss or high gloss).
• Polish can be applied for a higher gloss and easier cleaning in retail or high foot traffic situations.
• Cretecova is up to 3 times as hard as concrete.
• Fast application, quick return to use (2 days in most cases, longer for vehicle traffic).
• Tile effect (if you want it) can be any size you desire.
• Looks fantastic. You will be the envy of your friends, and they will think you paid a lot more for it than you did. Many of the above mentioned surfaces can be in excess of $200/SqM laid, our finished floors are much less than half this. Contact us to discover how much you can save.

Single Skim Cretecova is available for those on a tighter budget. This does not have the same finish as the full Cretecova system. The surface is more open, with only slight texture variations. But this is a great way to colour a floor without it looking like it has been painted. The finish can resemble the texture of raw sandstone. All our work is sealed.

Levelcova is a German engineered polymer cement product. The additives increase the self levelling qualities of the product. While towelled Cretecova has texture, Levelcova has a smooth flat finish. Higher gloss is attainable with this closed surface. If a Super high gloss is required mention this at quotation time for different sealer options. * In situations where the area to be resurfaced with self level has little air flow, the job may take 3 days. We can complete up to 300SqM in 2-3 days. (depending on layout).

You may also want to consider BroomCova and SprayCova for your outdoor areas (less expensive). These create a different effect than Cretecova.

This will add value to your home. Your excited, but what will it cost you ask? Well you can breathe easy because I have good news for you. Cretecova can be considerably cheaper than tiling. In fact to have your rooms Cretecova'd can be less than you would pay a tiler to tile those rooms (plus you have the cost of the tiles over and above that).

Cretecova is laid - completed - *Cretecova from $75 sq./M , *Levelcova from$95/SqM, *Skimcova from $60/SqM (larger areas may attract better prices). (minimum cost may be applied to small jobs). Some jobs differ due to preparation required, but you have freedom of choice concerning colour, texture and pattern. Don't delay, give your shop or house a facelift. * Prices are a guide only and subject to change without notification or adjustment on this site.

To measure an area divide into rectangles i.e. a room 9 M x 6 M = 56 SqM. After you have done a quick measure rush back here and fill in the form for a quote. If you can't wait for me to answer the e-mail, call me on the cell phone 021 426 627 or our office 0800 733 566.
